Let’s hope JJ Abrams’ new show, Fringe, has the some of the warm-hearted feel of Felicity – and not just the cold, clever, chess match plotting of Lost

SpoilerFix has several new items posted about season 5 episodes and casting. Here’s the link:

11. LOST (2004-Present)
Created by J.J. Abrams
and Damon Lindelof

A mysterious island that’s home to a shape-shifting smoke monster, a weird science project tasked with saving the world, and a secret society of sinister ”Others” who can’t make babies ? yes, Lost certainly has its fair share of sci-fi stuff. And yet, like the best examples of the genre, this unfolding saga about plane-crash survivors trapped in a tropical twilight zone doesn’t wallow in its genre elements, but uses them to embellish an exploration of identity, community, and reality itself. Coyly sublimating everything from Jules Verne and H.G. Wells to Star Trek and Star Wars, Lost aspires to be an important entertainment for a pop-soaked, soul-searching age. Now, at the risk of missing the point, how about some damn answers?!

POP CULTURE LEGACY Building on pioneers The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost helped to usher in a new era of serialized storytelling and showed Hollywood how cult-pop TV can be leveraged into cashcow franchises. Heroes, say hello to Daddy.

THE BEST BIT The Emmy-winning first season, with its perfect pilot and getting- to-know-you character flashbacks, is an object lesson in capturing the imagination.

Here’s the complete list of winners:

Supporting Actor in a TV Series, Drama: Jorge Garcia, Lost

A two-hour version of the show, featuring performances from the Black Eyed Peas and the Cheetah Girls, will air Sept. 12 on ABC.
